What I find very interesting is that now everyone want to be on Obama wagon. It's so fashionable.

Few months ago everyone favors Hillary. Now everybody disses her. And in the meantime she hasen't changed at all. We all knew what plays would the Clintons play - as they do it everytime. Nothing new here.

OK, I can see Obama being more likable, but I do not understand why dissing Hillary is become as fashionable as liking Obama. Dissing your opponent does not bring "new", "change", "unity". It's an old school. Hillary does that, Obama does that. Yet when Obama does it people nod, while Hillary does that everybody are disgusted with her. I see a lot of hypocrisy in that. People are believing & hearing what they want to hear & believe - ignoring the reality.

I'm not against Obama. I even like the idea he becomes the president there - it will definitely be a historic moment.

But ... I just do not like people blindly believing in something - especially when it comes to politics. Politics ain't religion, and politicians shouldn't be compared to preachers.

A bit more critical view on Obama would be welcome. Now when somebody says something against Obama he/she is marked as being against "new politics", aginst change, aginst black president, pro status quo etc. Doesn't that reminds you of something? Hint: If you're not with us, you're against us.

Why do you think Obama has such immunity in media, while Mrs. Clinton is constantly under attack. And when a paper says something against Obama everybody start to claim it's anti-Obama propaganda by Clinton camp.

Objective US media? Ha-ha-ha.

I anticipated to watch the campaign yet this Obama hysteria went just over the edge. It's not even funny anymore.

Yet this clerly shows how "popular" Hillary is. Imagine her being nominated: what would right-wing media do to her, when even the left-wing / liberal media dis her. Ouch!

So, let's hope today's debate with Clinton & Obama will be more about issues & solutions than playing games & big talk.

I'm sure Obama camp has also some great solutions in their plans. Let's make these solutions being presented.
